Letters Patent No. 74,024, dated February 4, 1868.

COMBINED PLOUGH AND HARROW.

@H22 rlgshule refrmh tu in tlgrsc tsters ailment :mh making pmt uf tlg sama PHILANDER WONSEY, of the town of Ogden, Monroe county, State of New York, having invented a new and useful Combination of Plough and Harrow, or of Plough, Harrow, and Scraper, which he believes has not been known or used prior to the invention thereof by himself, describes the same as follows, and refers to the aceornpanying drawing and specifications hereinafter given.

The barrow F is attached to the scraper l) by a pivot, G, playing in a semieilculalring, E, attached al; its extremities to the ends of the scraper in front. The scraper is a broad, flat sheet, of brass or iron, slightly rounded backward at the ends, to precede the harrow, and level the furrow as thrown up by the ploughshare.4

Attached to the scraper is an iron rod, B, running under the right shaft of the plough, and connected to the left shaft by a pivot, A, allowing it free play. Beneath the right shaft the rod is confined by a slot, C, running up the shaft a sutlicient distance to allowthe barrow and scraper to pass over a rock or high furrow, which slot is attached to the shaft by screws, orother means, allowing room for free motion of the rod along the sha-ft. To the rod is attached a screw, not shown in the drawings, which, when tightened about the slot, holds the rod and harrow firmly in position, increasing the effectiveness of the scraper and harrow, rendering a light harrow more efficient tha-n a very heavy one, uncontrolled by the screw. In this way the draught is much lessened.

The'scraper and barrow may be attached, if preferred, to the whifle-trees, by moving them to the right so as to make the draught equal, or, by means of rods or chains, to any part ofthe plougllshare or beam.

What he claims as newkand wishes to secure by Letters Patent, is-

'lhe combination of thc barrow, scraper, and plough, and the manner in which they are attached and detached.
